The study aimed to obtain the attitudes of a selected group of Filipino adolescents as regards to their perceived gender roles. One hundred respondents from U.P. Manila--50 females as well as males--were selected by purposive sampling to participate in the research. A questionnaire was used to get their answers. Data indicate that males and females alike generally perceived traditional feminine and masculine traits as belonging to either genders. Traditional roles in the contexts of love and sex, dating and courtship, and marriage are sometimes supported by the adolescents but in some cases are not. Tasks and behaviors traditionally ascribed to males and to females are viewed by the majority of the adolescents as not affecting femininity/masculinity concepts with the exception of a few tasks and behaviors. Results also show that there is a difference on how females and males perceived certain things pertaining to gender roles. At various points, the two genders differed in opinions and attitudes.

This study aimed to identify the fears and its attributions common among males and among females of the University of the Philippines-Manila as a means of determining whether sex-role stereotypes are still tightly stitched into the Filipino society. An open-ended questionnaire designed by the researcher was utilized and distributed by key informers to the 250 respondents, equally divided into 125 males and 125 females. Furthermore, 10 males and 10 females were selected to participate in the interview to supplement certain data. The results of the survey showed differences in fears among males and females. The study showed that the fears most frequently mentioned by female respondents were: Loneliness; Failure; Rejection or Being Unwanted; One’s Own Death of Suffering; Helplessness; and, Scary or Frightening Sights. Their fears manifested a concern towards affective relationships, social approval and the learned fears from prescriptive beliefs. The fears most frequently reported by the male and respondents were: Inadequacy, Rejection; One’s Own Death or Suffering; Expressing One’s Self; Getting a Girl Pregnant; and, Victimization. They have indicated apprehension and concern towards personal achievements and the development of their “machismo” personality. The circumstance of gender fears may be attributed to: 1) the gender role stress; 2) the violation of socially defined gender roles; and, 3) the occurrence of the self-fulfilling prophecy. By uncovering the fears common among males and females, one can determine that sex-role stereotypes or characteristics viewed as typical of males or females are still stitched into the design of a certain culture such as that of the Filipino society.
